Another example was a very potent KIRO signal on 830 created by its proximity to KTTH-770. It was clean audio and sounded like any other station as it mixed with CKKY, occasionally with KNCO and rarely with WCCO. A couple of months ago, KIRO signed off in order to clean it up, allowing me to log KSPN and KFIA. Bruce Portzer told the list about the KIRO signoff but we never got an explanation of exactly what they did from either Bruce or the engineer whose name he cited. My guess would be that they installed some sort of suppression componentry on 1480. Also, there was a low-level pulsing sound on 710 during some of the off time which seemed to be coming from KIRO. I recorded it and sent a CD of it to the same engineer. It would have been interesting to find out how much power was being used. KIRO is six miles from here so picking up a dummy load signal is not impossible when using a Kiwa loop. The point is that KIRO was sensitive about this problem and fixed it on their own.
